December was the worst December for stocks since 1931 or the Great Depression, but January was much better. The U. S. 10-year Treasury rose to 3.25% in October. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated the FRB planned to raise rates through the rest of 2019. China trade and tariff issues have not been resolved. The Fourth Quarter Index Returns revealed that the Russell 2000 was the worst performer. Sector Returns showed that Technology had lagged some along with Energy. Best performer was Healthcare followed by Utilities.

U. S. equities showed worst performance since 2011. Value outperformed growth slightly in the quarter. Fixed income was positive due to safety of the Bonds and Cash was the best performing Asset Class. Fixed Income Strategy ? Over-Weight Corporate Bonds with a duration slightly less than neutral. Individual Bond Duration 2.32 year; Fixed Income Fund Duration 3.72 years; Total Fixed Income Duration 3.5 years; Duration reduced .5 years during quarter.

Ms. Laychur called attention to the Market Overview for February. She noted they do not see a Recession in 2019. Individuals are employed; the consumer is pretty healthy; savings in America are up including retirement savings.

DVORYAK Mr. Dvoryak questioned how decisions are made as to where to deploy new life into individual stocks versus mutual funds; individual bonds versus mutual funds. In addition, he asked how the performance is monitored.

LAYCHUR

Ms. Laychur responded that they have a Strategy Committee and decisions are discussed within the Strategy Committee. She wants to be out a little more in five years versus the Fund Manager. She noted that everything is monitored within a security level.

DVORYAK Mr. Dvoryak noted he was interested in $30,000, by adding value with individual trades versus Mutual Funds.

RENZINI
